Great and brillant work !!
AawWWwwWrrrRhhh... !! Those pixels... BEAUTY!

niavlys 2014-08-25 02:10

Awwww, would love to try this, but:
Error: Cannot compile pixel shader code:
0:11(1): error: illegal use of reserved word `highp'
0:11(1): error: syntax error, unexpected ERROR_TOK, expecting $end

stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'newShader'
main.lua:78: in function 'load'

[C]: in function 'xpcall'

Hmm, I simply deleted "highp" in line 11 of shaders/lighten.fs, and it seems to be working now... I'm able to see, hear and interact with my garden and others' too.
Brilliant work on graphics, Proteus-like audio and network code! There's no goal in your game, but nothing new here ;)

I was about to say that maybe the white noise was a bit too loud sometimes but then I realized it was simplynoise.com still running

Visually is great! Lights effects looking amazing!

shivur 2014-08-26 22:03

Relaxing!

This game is so pretty! :O

robert_steiner 2014-08-27 16:30

Wow. So this is what löve looks like...

gaeel 2014-08-27 17:07

Hey guys! Thanks for the praise, it means a lot! I had a lot of fun making it, and started to wonder how much was just programmer-porn n.n

Niavlys: Thanks for pointing out that bug, you can try the Post-Compo for a fixed version. This time there's not explicit goal, but a few implicit ones:
- Increase the diversity of one's garden,
- Be friendly and help decorate other gardens

Boberro: Love2D is great for doing 2D image blitting, has a few blending modes (for Photoshop style layering) and proper shader support, so with a little know-how and a bit of tweaking, it can look however you like ;)
If you look through my LD entries, they're all Love2D except for Crobal&Friends and OMFG Aliens!

These dithered gradients are gorgeous.

This is...whoah. Can't find the words. I want to play for hours but I'm so tired. I need to play it again tomorrow. One of my favorite so far!

This is beautiful, amazing graphics and mood. Would like to see more things to do in it. Good job!

grayhaze 2014-08-30 17:21

A really relaxing, zen-like experience. I could see myself spending a long time gathering and arranging things into the perfect garden. I'm glad to see that you plan to be able to uproot plants in the future, as that's really the only thing I can see missing at the moment. Good work! :)

grayhaze 2014-08-30 17:22

I forgot to mention that I *love* the ambient soundtrack and audio cues. They really add to the atmosphere of the game.

ekilibr 2014-08-30 19:04

My 5 stars for the mood and graphics, which are absolutely amazing :) Well done !

nooner-bear 2014-08-30 19:10

Certainly a unique art style! Not sure what I was supposed to do, but still really neat looking.

kingbolonzo 2014-08-30 20:30

Nice art looks amazing

landosystems 2014-08-30 20:49

Lovely art style, very chill and relaxed mood. Great work!

alvivar 2014-08-30 21:04

It throws me an error :(

Intriguing and beautiful game, relaxing even. Graphics and ambient sounds build a unique atmosphere.

literal_games 2014-08-30 21:26

Hm, had some visual issues with little black boxes around every sprite... Still, pretty game if I imagine they're not there and a neat idea! 5/5 for theme and innovation, and graphics because I feel like I'm so close to seeing something really pretty!

hbocao 2014-08-30 22:31

This is aweseome! It's different, moody and beautiful. Very cool experience! Yes, do expand the concept and think mobile. Keep it simple, though. Amazing entry.

elemel 2014-08-30 23:57

Beautiful.

raycosantana 2014-08-31 12:59

Pretty cool, loved the art.

cooliron 2014-09-10 06:52

Awesome idea! Great job!

crazyrems 2014-09-14 10:00

That garden ! It's nice to put rocks around and plant the best flowers. It would be nice if there's a post-postcompo with plant uproot :)

Where do I go to download on Mac?
